Biden asks Congress to avert railroad strike.

[...]

Say the words instead of deleting my post. Say what [censored] means and what [censored] means.

4. THWART LANGUAGE FILTERS. Using spaces between letters, strange characters or misspellings to get around the language filters to post filtered words is annoying. Your vocabulary is bigger than that. Curse words are not okay. We know you know what that mean

By that logic, shouldn't you be modded for thwarting the filters?

How would he fire and replace them?

Probably the same way that Reagan fired all the air traffic controllers.

I don't think anyone is forced to work for the railroad. You don't like it, find another job.

Are you saying we shouldn’t bargain also? We should just find another job? Say what?

 

[100%]

Fug Joe Biden! Teamsters and every other union just got buried by this clown.

 

[100%]

I want Teamsters to send me another flyer on why teamsters should be voting for Biden, and against everything that helps
Workers??? Seriously WTH was he suppose to do for us? He just destroyed our union and any chance at bargaining next year. WE CANT BARGAIN OF WE CANT STRIKE! I was told for so long this is what trump would do???

Search the news for the past few days, tough guy Sean O'Brien is no where to be found? He is just the President of 1.3 million union members...

...House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said lawmakers will vote Wednesday to impose a tentative contract deal struck in September. "We must avoid a strike," she said Tuesday after a meeting with Biden.

Sounds like tough guy O'Brien is in agreement with Big Nancy.

Teamsters president’s message to railroad workers: Stop “complaining” about union betrayals to “outsiders”

No matter how shamelessly the union officialdom sells out workers, they are not allowed to air their grievances except “in-house,” in narrowly confined channels where they can be controlled and smothered by the bureaucracy.

www.wsws.org

...When O’Brien claimed that the enemy was not in the room or on the stage, he said more than he intended. He and the BLET shared both with Nancy Pelosi, who had closed ranks with Republicans in preparing anti-strike legislation in case workers had gone on strike last month. Also attending on the second day was Labor Secretary Marty Walsh, who played the leading role in brokering the deal under threat of congressional injunction. These are the enemies of railroaders, whom they would not even have allowed to speak without getting booed off the stage. But for the bureaucracy, these are fast friends and allies.

Where are the usual suspects with their hot takes, you'd think they'd have all kinds of supportive words for the Democrat solution to this union issue

No. Bargain for the best contract you can get. Problem is most of the membership doesn't care. They are out for themselves.

Thanks for playing, no refunds

 

[TearsInRain]

cost to nation $2B a day if strike happens.......like we need another excuse for higher prices.
They turned down a 25% raise.

There is no point to unions at all if every strike can (and will) be averted by invoking national security or the economic impact

the total cooperation of corporations and unions with the govt is the literal textbook definition of fascism (not the fake Twitter outrage definition)

i worked ups for 39 years . I dont have any sympathy for the railroad workers and will never believe anyone works harder or has had it harder than career upsers.

Got yours so your brothers huh?

I don't have a dog in either hunt. I can laugh as the company cries poor and the union claims they're all chained to those locomotives.

 

[PT Car Washer]

Sounds a lot like the Teamsters Union.

Except air traffic controllers were government employees. Railroad employees are not.

 

[El Correcto]

Piece of and Joe Biden. Abbreviations aren't what thwarting language filters means by the way.

Then why aren’t people allowed to say b* or d*.

 

[El Correcto]

He is management I think.
What brothers? He would sell his mother out if it meant a rung on the ladder.

Actually, sounds like you, not the teamsters union.

 

[zubenelgenubi]

i don't believe the screwing nonsense. i think you're a union trying to sell the best improvements you can get. more power to you hope you get the best contract you can get. but you live better than 99 percent of the world and yes that does matter . you do compare similar jobs and figure out where you're at in overall pay and working conditions.
you're the railroad . country needs you to run and if you walk they will send you back.

That is one of the most anti-American commie bs posts I've ever read. Must be a troll.

See how quickly they abandon their ideals when it's their guy.

Especially feeder drivers!,
